About

Hollinwood ward lies in the southeastern part of the Oldham borough, bordering the city of Manchester. The area is defined by major transport routes, including the M60 motorway and the heavy rail line, which physically shape the local landscape. Land use is mixed, with residential streets, industrial estates, and significant green spaces like the Clayton Vale country park situated along the River Medlock. The ward contains the distinct localities of Hollinwood itself, along with parts of Failsworth and Woodhouses.

The area's industrial heritage remains visibly present in its architecture and street patterns. A notable local feature is the former Hollinwood Branch Canal, now largely infilled but whose route still influences the area's layout. Community facilities are centred around local schools and the parish church. Economic activity is focused on the several industrial and trading estates that provide employment, contrasting with the quieter, predominantly terraced housing found in the residential sections.
